Garlic & Herb Turkey Roulade
Sometimes, roasting an entire turkey can feel overwhelming. A roulade, on the other hand, is surprisingly simple (we promise!), incredibly flavorful, and much easier to slice. Traditional roast turkey can sometimes turn out dry and bland, but this garlic-herb turkey roulade is the perfect remedy. The garlic-herb mixture not only infuses the turkey breast with rich, savory flavor but also creates a stunning swirl when sliced, making it a showstopper for your Thanksgiving table.This dish is one of our favorite ways to put a modern twist on the classic Thanksgiving turkey or to serve as a beautiful holiday centerpiece. Pair it with creamy mashed potatoes, tangy cranberry sauce, or any of your favorite Thanksgiving sides for a truly memorable meal.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless turkey breasts
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup thyme leaves
- 3 Tbsp. sage
- 2 cups parsley leaves
- 6 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Butterfly breasts crosswise, being sure not to cut all the way through. Place a piece of plastic wrap over one open breast, and pound to a rectangle about 12"-x-14" (1/4" thick). Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining breast. You want your turkey to be uniform in thickness, this will make it easier to roll.
- Melt butter in a large skillet, add panko and toast until golden brown. Transfer to a food processor, then add thyme, sage, parsley and garlic and process until finely chopped. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the turkey breast dry, sprinkle half of the garlic-herb mixture evenly over the breast and begin to roll up tightly like a jelly roll. Secure the roll with kitchen twine. Repeat with the second breast.
- Rub the roulades all over with vegetable oil and transfer to parchment lined baking sheets.
- Bake at 375° until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roulade reads 160°, about 1 hour. Let cool 20 minutes before slicing.
